Importance of Facility to Local, Regional Mobility and why Improvements are Needed
Improvement Needed
Locally maintained roadways serve high volumes of all traffic types including commuters, commercial traffic and goods movement; they connect residents to economic opportunities, recreational outings, schools and employment centers. Improvements to pavement condition Pavement and subbase repair; pavement are needed to provide a smoother ride for motorists, overlay; reconstruction of full pavement enhance safety and decrease vehicle operating costs to section. motorists. It is much more cost effective to maintain and improve pavement conditions before they deteriorate to a level where more costly repairs or replacement are needed. Major travel corridor providing connectivity to activity centers in west Orange County and west LA
Likely Status (Including How Improvement will Benefit/Support Funding) of Project in State's Future Development/Quality of Life 2019 under Current Funding
Poor pavement conditions impact traffic safety and increase congestion. It also results in increased costs to motorists, businesses and transit operators due to increased wear-and-tear on vehicles. The longer poor pavement conditions persist, the higher the cost to improve roadways to an acceptable condition. A roadway with a fair to poor PCI rating can cost up to five times more to rehabilitate than a road in good condition.

Additionally, increased truck traffic will be integral to the future economic growth in the area because of the many existing and planned warehouse distribution facilities in the region.
Ramona Expressway is the only major west-east continuous transportation corridor located between SR-74 to the south and SR-60 to the north that provides a connection between I-215 and SR-79. By 2040, traffic along the corridor is expected to more than double. The MCP project is needed to accommodate the substantial population and employment growth and foster the economic vitality of the region by providing a direct route between major population/employment centers and commute destinations to the west in Orange and Los Angeles counties.

The San Jacinto/Hemet Valley has seen significant growth in western Riverside County and has limited access to major interstates such as I-15, I-215, and SR-60. The current SR-79 alignment is circuitous, with numerous atgrade intersections, residential and commercial driveways, traffic signals, and other impediments that degrade the operational characteristics of the facility. With no viable alternative, Sanderson Ave and Warren Rd have become default north-south routes for regional traffic, thereby adding more traffic onto local streets. SR-79 and SR-74 are also co-located as one facility for about 7 miles along Florida Ave. The project will improve the quality of life for the thousands of daily commuters by improving traffic flow, reducing pollution, and providing more efficient access to major employment/education centers throughout the region.
Riverside County is an origin for many commuters traveling to employment in San Diego, Orange, and Los Angeles counties. This north-south alignment is vital to the San Jacinto/Hemet Valley region in The project will construct a new limited-access particular because the area has seen substantial expressway with accommodation for oversized population growth. This realignment would improve trucks that would accommodate future economic development by facilitating the regional multimodal transportation systems. movement of people and goods, enhancing safety for larger trucks, protecting right-of-way for future improvements, and would provide a more efficient connection between Domenigoni Parkway and Gilman Springs Road.
